2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,600 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 27 trips to carry that many people.

Happy New Year all!
All the best for 2012!

About Me

I live in Chicago. I write. I am generally an all around good guy.

I'm 49 years old, 3rd child of three born to Hungarian immigrants of the 1956 revolution. I have a B.A. in Speech Communications from Northeastern Illinois University having earned 21 graduate hours (9 shy) toward my Master's before leaving academic life. I still, however, consider myself a "student of life."

I have been working steadily since I was 13 holding odd jobs since I was of legal working age. October 15, 2008 was my last day working in Chicago's agriculture markets, for 24 continuous years in customer service and trade checking at the Chicago Board of Trade. I am working again at one of Illinois's casinos and am happily employed since June 2, 2009.

I graduated from Chicago's ABC Bartending School in March of 2009. I am Illinois BASSET and CPR certified. I am at my very heart a customer service person and I am also a trained professional. :-)

"Ham and eggs" journal entries, prose, poetry and other minutae from a north side Chicagoan.

Dear Lord, bless this mess! Amen!
About Me II

I have been writing since I was a youngster. There have been lulls, since I first started writing and have done mostly academic writing in the last 30 years, but overall I have always been fascinated with the creation of something that is uniquely me, be it written, musical or visual.

I was in an ethnic dinner band in Chicago for five years and became well-known to my niche audience. I have audio-assisted and videotaped special events and weddings. I've photographed candids and nature shots. I've also made three dimensional computer/graphic art and the creation of web pages an avid hobby of mine since I have owned a computer.

Also, in the late 90s, for five years, I designed, assisted and helped to create a weekly Catholic church bulletin and other printed material at St. Stephen King of Hungary Church in Chicago, Illinois.

During those years and well into the new millenium, I digitally retored old photographs for a two store photo developing chain called Graffoto located in the Chicago Board of Trade Building and at The Merchandise Mart.

Lately, I have been simulcasting oddities, signature songs and one hit wonders on Tuesday nights @ 7pm (CST) through my involvement in Second Life. My one hour, live show / audio stream is heard within Second Life and may be heard outside as that program as well.

I have been on the Internet longer than anyone I currently know with the exception of a friend from NEIU whom originally assisted me with my user account through NEIU way back in the fall of 1990 before the first Gulf War.

Other than that, trying to live life and be happy.

Welcome!
